How do you Carry Coins at a Coin Show

I am going to another show this weekend and i will be making several purchases. I generally just carry the coins i buy in my shirt pocket but this time i am buying more and more expensive ones. How do most of you carry your coins around, do you use a bag? I do see people with fanny packs and shoulder bags at the shows ... whats everyone's particular choice when it comes to this?

I carry a bookbag.

 

Carry a small bag that can zip. Like a money bag. Coins can fall out of pockets

 

Try a fanny pack

 

I use a laptop carrying case with a shoulder strap.

 

I use an old backgammon case that has a nice leather cover. It is felted inside, so it protects the coins, and opens and shuts like a suitcase. I bought it at goodwill for 3 dollars.

 

Ditto.

 

any kind of carring case with a shoulder strap , so you have both hands free

 

I just carry them in my pocket.

Try out a man purse, or what people call a murse or satchel.

 

same,ditto,I use laptop carrying case with a shoulder strap with lock.

 

My bodyguard carries my purchases. He uses a small metal attache case handcuffed to his wrist. He also looks like Joe Pesci.

 

I am the same. At coin shows I am usually buying "better" coins, so only buy a few at most.

I have seen "vest pocket dealers" use briefcases with locks. Seems to be a good setup, with room for price lists, want lists, etc, plenty of room for coins, and good locks on them. I have even seen reference books being carried in them. If I were a serious buyer/seller, I believe I would replicate this setup.

We must of all been to the same school at one time. The few shows I've been to that worked with a blue box or two of sellers to go out and purchases coming back. Also a good place to have the want list, check book, and all the other tools of the game.

 

Try doing that with 40 rolls of unc wheat cent lol

 

Does he look funny to you?

 

What? Funny how? Funny like a clown? I'm here to amuse you?

 

No no, I mean you are funny, you tell funny jokes, I like the way you told the story.......what?
